This study identifies pseudopollen-like trichomes in Cypripedium wardii that serve both as rewards and deceptive signals to attract pollinators, enhancing reproductive success while causing inbreeding depression.

SiCEP3, a C-terminally encoded peptides from Setaria italica, promotes ABA import and signaling pathway

This study identifies SiCEP3, a C-terminally encoded peptide from Setaria italica, which promotes ABA import and signaling by inhibiting receptor kinase activity under abiotic stress.
